Book excerpt: "Finely crafted and beautifully written . . . the most comprehensive and extensive treatment of the school leadership literature available to date." -From the Foreword by Joseph Murphy A set of key leadership behaviors can help create the right kind of conditions in schools for learning to occur. How can school leaders excel in those behaviors? An important and trusted resource for 25 years, this fourth edition of School Leadership: Handbook for Excellence in Student Learning emphasizes the school leader′s role as champion of student learning.

This expanded edition draws from a variety of viewpoints on educational leadership to give school leaders—and those preparing for the role—insight and wisdom to meet the challenges of helping all their students learn. Updates include: Expanded coverage of instructional leadership and the principal′s role in student learning New chapters covering the principalship, accountability, effects of leadership, distributed leadership, political leadership, and engaging the public New chapters on data-based decision making and allocation of human, financial, and physical resources Eight completely reworked chapters that tie back to student learning End-of-chapter reflection questions for group discussion This is the ultimate guide for all principals and administrators—both a life-preserver and indispensable coach for the important work of school leadership.

This book was released on 2005-01-07 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume assesses the impact of the decade-old move in public education reform away from funding equalization and toward adequacy and accountability. In six chapters, the author provides a detailed introduction, the theoretical and empirical background, and an analysis of the prospects of future state funding of public education. He includes a Connecticut-based case study that examines state legislative motivations and suggests methods for predicting future state behaviors. Following the case study, the author offers an analysis of policy options that balance equity, performance, and tax burdens. The conclusion pays particular attention to the consequences of current reform policies and statesâ willingness to fund them, or not.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes and analyses the organisation, functions and development of national educational authorities and agencies and the influence they have on local schools in 20 countries around the world. It examines the governing chain in the respective countries from both a theoretical and descriptive perspective. It does so against the background of the stability and rigour of the governing chains having been challenged, with some researchers considering the chain to be broken. However, the view that comes to the fore in this book is that the chain is still present and contains both vertical implementation structures and intervening spaces for policy interpretation. How schools become successful is important for the individual students as well as the local community and the national state. A vast quantity of research has looked at what happens in schools and classrooms. At the same time, national governance and politics as well as local prerequisites are known to exert influence on schools and their results to a high degree. Societal priorities, problems and traditions provide variety in how governance is executed. This book provides an international overview of the similarities and differences between educational agencies and how their work influences schools.

This book was released on 1995-02-16 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: School districts in both Canada and the United States provide the sites for this research. Many of these districts were in the midst of reform or restructuring initiatives and these initiatives became an important context within which to understand the work of district leaders. The authors describe how effective superintendents work with their immediate staffs, elected trustees, and school-based administrators. Each chapter examines the meaning of effective district leadership from different perspectives. Common to almost all of the chapters is an appreciation of the exquisitely "political" nature of the superintendent's work. Contributors to the volume include Edward A. Holdaway and Anthony Genge; Derek J. Allison, Patricia A. Allison, and Helen A. McHenry; Kenneth Leithwood and Roseanne Steinbach; Frances Wills and Kent Peterson; Joseph Murphy; Richard G. Townsend; Donald Musella; Mark Holmes; Stephen B. Lawton, Joyce Scane, and Shihui Wang; and Kenneth Leithwood.

Download or read book School Reform written by Mary Juliet Martel and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Educational reform has a long history and schools have gone through cycles of change. This study, however, focuses on the last ten years of reform, often referred to as the restructuring movement. Shared decision making is one of the fundamental changes promoted by this current reform effort. Restructuring the decision-making process to include teachers and parents is a significant change from the hierarchical process that has been in place in most of today's schools. It is time to recognize that schools are complex social institutions that experience change only through its people. By giving those closest to children a stronger voice, decisions would have a greater impact on making the needed changes. This study explored one school that experienced significant change over the course of ten years. This research examines the changing roles of the principal, teachers, and parents as they participated in a shared decision-making process. The strong sense of community that evolved was the result of relationships that were built on trust and respect. The collective sense of responsibility that existed at Valencia Park Elementary School provided the opportunity for leaders and collaborators to practice Rost's postindustrial theory of leadership. A qualitative methodology was used in this study. The case study included interviews, observations, and a review of district and school documents. Through this methodology it was possible to discover how the strong sense of community evolved and how it brought about significant change. The findings of this study indicate that for significant change to occur as a result of shared decision making, a new organizational structure and belief system must be in place, the scope of authority must be clearly delineated, and the critical role the principal plays in facilitating the process must be understood. The shift from a top-down to a shared model of decision making requires the stakeholders to create relationships that foster a collective sense of responsibility. This strong sense of community provides the opportunity for leaders and collaborators to pursue changes that reflect their mutual purposes which relate to meeting the needs of children.

Book excerpt: Power structures in U.S. public schools have grown increasingly more hierarchical in response to a perceived decline in K-12 instructional quality. The rising prominence of high-stakes accountability mechanisms has resulted in top-down limiting of teachers' role in site decision-making. Promoting a more prominent teacher role in school governance is a promising countermeasure to the teacher turnover and lower quality of instruction disproportionately found in schools serving vulnerable populations. When educators have a greater voice in site decision-making, they are more committed to the organizational vision and more likely to stay at a school. Student academic and civic outcomes also improve when school governance is democratically collaborative. Recognizing the need for additional research on the relationship between decision-making authority and the role of teachers in site governance at an educator-run school, one site was examined through a qualitative, case study approach using an integrated theoretical framework that incorporated structure, culture and agency and the areas of collective autonomy exploring (1) the role of teachers in site governance at an educator-run school and (2) the structural and cultural systems that support or hinder teachers' role in site decision-making. Qualitative data compiled through interviews, observations of decision-making meetings and gathering of site documents clarified how structural and cultural systems shape and are shaped by teachers' participation in site decision-making. Analysis of the themes and categories that surfaced from the data shed light on the relationship between formal, prescribed decision-making authority and the dynamics of educator-run school governance in practice. Findings from the study indicated that systems that hinder teachers' participation in school governance are legal, district and budget constraints, lack of preparation and mistrust. Governing documents that support significant teachers' role in school-level decisions are the pilot school agreement and Elect-to-Work Agreement with its annual teacher-driven revisiting and refinement. Representative leadership, rotating leadership and protocols help to democratize decision-making at the research site by providing transparent structures to guide selection of leaders and horizontal collaboration. Cultural systems that support significant teachers' role in school-level decisions are a common vision, collaboration, sense of ownership, peer accountability, mentoring and organizing skills.
